Official Carmelo Anthony Trade Rumors Thread (Carmelo is Officially a Knick)

[losalmighty]

I think Denvers FO is scared as hell to make this deal. They will be known as the ones that traded melo or let him walk and got nothing in return.

Travis Outlaw for Blatche?

Outlaw for JJ Barea, Brian Cardinal, and DeShawn Stevenson? (Steve's been playing great though)


Just a few scenarios that worked out in the ESPN trade machine

Rockets enter Carmelo derby

As the Nets and Pistons wait for a decision from Denver on the future of Carmelo Anthony, the Houston Rockets have quietly made a push to acquire the All-Star forward, league sources told SI.com.

While the Rockets don't have a franchise talent like New Jersey's Derrick Favors, they can offer cap relief in the expiring contract of Yao Ming ($17.7 million), Shane Battier ($7.4 million) and Jared Jeffries ($6.9 million), as well young talent like leading scorer Kevin Martin or Aaron Brooks, the NBA's 2009-10 Most Improved Player. Houston also has the right to swap draft picks with the Knicks in 2011 and it owns New York's pick outright in 2012.

It is unclear if Anthony would be willing to sign an extension with Houston or if the Rockets are willing to make a deal for Anthony without the extension. Sources told SI.com in August that Anthony would be willing to sign with the Rockets but that was before Yao's season-ending injury.

One source said that while the Rockets were discussing a trade for Anthony they were "not close" to a deal on Monday.

Source

Good market, well run organization, complimentary role players, quality coaching. The Rockets are probably Melo's best bet at winning in the long term. Once the Lakers run is over (

), it should be a wide open field compared to the East with the Celtics, Heat and Bulls. Just a matter of convincing the Nuggets to trade within the conference.

I'm mad I got heated earlier with some articles relating to this. Cuz this is following the same exact format this past summer.

He's coming one place and then new rumors. This deal was coming close but now they're not on the "10 yard line" dumb +!% Broussard making football analogies. Now rumors of another team in the mix

Ignoring these rumors until the deadline. Only gonna let them entertain me for a good laugh.

@PMatic no way Den lets Melo go to a west team. They'd try to gut yall even more than the Nets for him anyway. Plus the current Den team is better than Hou anyway. Melo would like his money and winning in the short to long term.

But if the Rockets offer the best deal, then the Nuggets have to consider, no? The Rockets don't have a prospect like Favors, but they do have young talent (limited upside I admit) to go with expirings and draft picks.

They'd probably take back Billups and Harrington too.

[h1]Nuggets threaten to trade ‘Melo to N.Y.
[/h1]Before resuming trade talks for Carmelo Anthony on Monday, the Denver Nuggets delivered a stern warning to the New Jersey Nets: Unless the public nature of these trade discussions becomes private, be warned that we will send Anthony to the New York Knicks.

Nothing else the Nuggets could’ve said would send such chills of unease through the Nets, and that’s why Denver made the threat, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Would the Nuggets do such a thing out of spite? Would they take a lesser package out of vengeance? No one could be sure, but it sure delivered one more element of drama and intrigue to these trade talks.

Indeed, the tone of the discussions between the Nuggets and Nets dramatically changed on Monday. Executives went underground with talks, and several agents were frustrated they could no longer get information from the two teams about where the talks stood. Sources still believed the Nets and Nuggets had the framework of a deal, but the talks had retreated from what one source deemed “really close
